New York A10072 mandates the Department of Criminal Justice Services to create "race-blind charging" guidelines for prosecution agencies.
New York A10072 requires the Department of Criminal Justice Services to develop, issue, and publish "race-blind charging" guidelines. These guidelines mandate that all prosecution agencies implement a process where an initial review of a case for potential charging is performed based on information from which direct means of identifying the race of the suspect, victim, or witness have been removed. This includes redacting police reports and criminal histories from the Department of Justice.
